Executive summary
The main objective of this project is to explore the role of gene expression and structural variation in contributing to an adaptive traits (bud phenology) in a keystone forest tree species: oak.
- We will generate sequences (RNAseq and pool-seq data) at the population level to study local adaptation, a process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat. The selected populations are located along two elevation clines in the Pyrenees, showing strong phenotypic differences in terms of average bud burst date.
- We will also generate sequences within a structured populations (endo- and eco-dormant buds sampled on 150 full-sibs) to decipher the genetic architecture of gene expression and how it relates to bud phenology QTLs.
